With Node I get the best of two worlds: high concurrency and speed With Node you still need to write in an event-based style, which is something devs often complain about working with Node.js. "With goroutines and channels, you can say 'I'm going to send a message to another goroutine or wait for a message from another goroutine', but you don't have to actually leave the function you're in to do that," Gerrand says. "That lets you write asynchronous code in a synchronous style. As people, we're much better suited to writing about things in a synchronous style." from http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/05/05/google_go/page4.html http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/05/05/google_go/page4.html
